Sensitivity analysis of the influence of the flexibility of solar panels on the attitude dynamics of artificial satellites
Abstract
The motion of a spin-stabilized satellite, having two flexible solar panels was studied. The equations of motion are attained using the Lagrangian formalism and the assumed modes method. The influence of the flexibility is studied using the eigenvalue and eigenvector sensitivity. The pole allocation technique is used to minimize the effects of elasticity on the rigid body motion.
